Well people often ask us one main questions. Is it glass? When we say it is polycarbonate and not glass then they ask Why polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is used for two reasons.
- It is transparent like glass.
- It is much tougher than toughened glass.
To know how tough is polycarbonate, you can watch the YouTube video where they test the hardness of glass, acrylic and polycarbonate.
In the video a U S Plastic Corporation employee tests glass, acrylic and polycarbonate against the force of a baseball bat!
Conclusion from this testing:
► Single pane glass = cannot withstand a one-handed bat swing! Sad.
► Acrylic = 30x the strength of glass, but will still break from the simple swing of a bat!
► Polycarbonate = 250x the strength of glass and will NOT break under the force of a baseball bat. Wowza, now that’s strong!
Andy Joe Plastic Hero who conducted the test concludes that POLYCARBONATE is virtually unbreakable and the BEST choice when security is your end game.
